@bndctus indeed, the fundamentalists are mind-boggling, but here, they are expressing fear of anything Eastern. They think Christianity is a religion born in the Western mind and divine revelation means everything is in a neat little box, so there is no mystery to encounter.

@seanom23 It may start off as short as 10 minutes but the more experienced you become you may find yourself spending more time dwelling in God's presence.

@jehujezabel God's word applies to all of our lives in different ways. Some could look at the first chapter of John and notice the devotion to, "the Word," and have the 2nd commandment become much more real to them, and another might realize the importance of the scriptures. Neither of these are wrong, but the same words touch different people in different ways.

Amnivor 1: If you say that Catholicism is, "repackaged paganism" then all Christianity is repackaged paganism because all Christianity came from and was based off of Catholicism. Remember that Martin Luther (who was originally a catholic priest) did not intend to start his own church, but rather to reform the catholic church which he viewed a a fundamentally good organization that had strayed from it's roots.

How long should this last??
It's unbelievable what some of the "evangelical" fundamentalists are saying in this comment section. How can reading the Bible and meditating, thinking deeper on a text's meaning and how it should impact your life "witchcraft" "heresy" "anti-christ"? Unbelievable the kind of people that are out there, it boggles the mind.

As a Christian most of my life and being a part of many different belief systems, (Baptist to the Presbyterian) just trying to find the right place of worship for me. I have been led to the Catholic Faith. and by far it's the only way for me that makes any since what so ever. I have returned from a trip to Rome and was inspired by the Catholic faith and their reverence for God. I thank Him every day for the Catholic Church and the complete clarity of His word. Thank-you Father Jim!
